Looks like it will be another great trip..

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

1 Month to go, ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT.Weather looks great LOL Thanks to all.

Still a few that are on the list and have not made payment arrangements which is OK but we are getting closer. You know who you are. Will start a wait list after the final 2 spots are taken if necessary.

Again we appreciate the support this year as always. Now on to getting the raffle prizes

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I am one of the offenders - check will be sent tonight - wife said I can wrap her pennies and use them - now when you see a big postal mail box show up on your doorstep and its heavy dont get excited. It is not lead from Sam - Sam - The Sinker Man if he cant do it no-one can

It will be my payment from THE WIFES MONEY - she thinks she is funny she makes me feel good once in a while and tells me its mine - up there with my pride , man-hood , self-esteem , and my walnuts

if it fits it ships - shameless plug -

Gee-Mee-Hee-:cool:

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Screw the wait list Dales...we can just drag a rowboat behind us :D

Don't get jammed up about the wife's money thing G Dubya, I tell my wife all the time that nuthin would make me happier than sittin on a fishing boat 4 or 5 days a week telling all the guys how my wife pays for everything...but all she ever says is "dream on" :mad:
When I was younger I wished for a 20 year old with a trust fund now I'd be happy with a 80 year old that has a ton of money and a heart condition :D

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Update on Raffle Charter prizes:D
1) Fish Monger: 6 man charter afternoon striper livelining in June ONLY so winners have to step up quick.
Its a Monger trip which is like GOLD so my thinking is that we turn it into 5 prizes for those on board rather than 1 winner. (5 because Jerry requested I go:eek: ) That way only those on the trip have a chance to win. OK?

2) Tagged Fish (Capt Chad): Open Boat 1 person.

3) Last Lady (Capt Ralph): Open boat Tuesdays 1 person

4) Fish Tank (Capt Kevin) Open Boat 1 person

Thanks to all the Captains for their continued and willing support as always. Your sponser Captains giving back and you know the value of these trips.

More to follow but these are great offers.

PS TRIP SOLD OUT.

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I'm offering up the bucktails and teasers Dave. Shoot me a PM and we'll put some packages together again.

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Gr8 prizes Dave, you're an excellent solicitor.

Many thx to the Captains and Mike for the trips and 'tails. When it comes to RFA fundraising, NJFishing is tops - another sell-out !!

I agree that the Monger prize should be divided - share the wealth :) We are less than a month away, 15-June can't get here soon enuff.

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Looks like Fluke is picking up Nicely! 2 weeks to go, 1 spot open.

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Flying Zagorski Brothers are in and paid....

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Oh shizzle.... its on like Donkey Kong now....:cool:

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Well with the latest addition of the Zagorski brothers we certainly have a who's who list here. 1 week out and trip is sold out Thanks but time for some trash talk. 5000 views and still to "nice" a thread.
Trying to channel LAB here and have with his help done the "ODDS" thing but we will keep that his legacy.

Lots of potential pool winners on this trip but here is what I expect will happen:
- Upon my arrival at the boat it WILL be filled regardless of the boarding order and we will have to unload and re-load as usual:eek:

- Heiser Clan will once again do their best to convince us they actually live in NJ and are not the Hay slinging country boys from PA I always assume they are, we don't grow um that big in NJ but whos kidding who, 1 guy (chris with a real job) the rest farmers! You no the sheep jokes already.
However a couple of contenders and this is their "Home" field boat. Lots of 6" white grubs will be flying.
- Lefty Ron and Ron SR will be there to represent as usual and have kicked butt in the past but lets face it. They come together on these trips so Ron SR doesn't have to let Ron JR use the 31 Robolo!
- Shrimpman is there already trying to claim the port stern. Will have the Dirty Shrimp in tow to go back out the second we hit the dock. Prediction, he will contend but on the do over DS trip afterwards.
- Kurtis B and brother will TALK every ones head off :rolleyes: with one word answers, yup, thanks, glad to be here etc . they have in the past and will again produce a catch though.
- Larry hartattack: Until I start getting some fishing clothes to raffle will show up in those paisley pajama fluke pants his wife lays out for him. No blood on those babys and too nice a guy anyway to win it.
- Richie Tropics and Glenn Fin reaper will STILL meet at exit 123 rest stop to drive in together but will realize late they overshot the boat by 9 miles. Midship killers last outing but will tire easy after the long drive.
- Vinnitastic will be wishing he was in the bow of Capt Rons fishermen but is not so some mugging will happen to look for that Mat.
- Jeff and Jeff Criswells (Caddishack / saltlife) will come dressed head to toe in Papa's Angels Garb but its fishing in their back yard pond. Dad will win a prize but young Jeff still my odds on to win it. Wont smile or talk until he has a limit plus.
- Dockbuilder Bob a silent threat but usually just happy to be there.
- Mike Mcoward can Only catch Tuna now
- Sharkispy: will be too busy selling bucktails to fish!
George Dubya will be begging to get off once the wife finds out where he really went but not before he Georges a few.
- RNK: Pleasant couple who will turn to cursing each other when the swings and misses start but K could surprise and be in the running
- Larry M is really from PA so enough said.
- Sam will ride Richie and Fins spot long enough to get first fish and bring so much lead he will have to leave sinkers on shore so we can out of the slip.
- Shirtguy / Cant trash towel man (those things have saved many of us in the past) Will be glad just to get out but be on the phone with da business more than fishing.
- JoeS and Jim J. Customers of mine that don't even know we are fishing that day.
- Erik S and Son. Shrimpman "friends" :eek: taught how not to fish so no chance of showing steve up.
- Zagorski Brothers: Guess I have to get a fighting chair for Joe tarpon and a bigger rod holder for da broom sticks. Give Gerry a cigar and an good ale and its over for the day.

I will lose the only shot at a keeper I get and catch my one short before the raffles but feeling optimistic.

We all know what FRAN will catch:p

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Well done Dales, unfort Ron Sr will be on a plane back from Ireland the night before so he had to bail, but rest assured I'm bring the Staten Island Puller to fill those size 10's.

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

OK, SO, when I do get a chance to fish....I'm breaking out the new arsenal for this one.....who knows if it will really help the angler...AND I'm donning the new RFA fishing shirt for some good karma.....yeah, we'll see if that helps too!!:D

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon

We shall see Dales...We shall see. Planning on putting a little red bull in Bad Santa's can of Bush, He will be kicking ass and taking names!

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Really now Dave I heard you were riding down with Glen so you could get to the boat at a reasonable time :D

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I might be in his driveway at 3:00 AM, blowing the horn so he's good and rested for the trip :D

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I am glad both of you are always there to help the "needy" ;) Speaking of which do you have and good fluke set-ups for sale?

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Shrimpman would be there at 3PM :p

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I made you some special bucktails...the hooks are nice and loose;) ....I have to even the odds somehow!!!:D

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Fisherman's prayer: May the weather-man be right (for once), may the fluke be hungry, may the only robins we see be in the trees, and please send the rays on vacation or let them eat shrimp. ;) And most of all keep everyone safe. :)

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

LMAO but Trust me Mike its NOT me you have to worry about. However the hook up ratio to lost fish will create some fun

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I didn't pick the date this year so already we are ahead of it. Hope it stays NW

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

I found a BAGEL shop that is open early enough for me to make a 530am :eek: pick up so we will have bagels with butter/cream cheese for breakfast....

And yes Larry they will be the Real Thing and most likely still a little HOT!

Dales does this buy me $20 worth of raffle tickets? :rolleyes: ;)

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Thanks RON as usual. You have been bringing them for so many trips now its expected:p , Seriously THANKS for going out of your way. Those go over BIG in the AM and go quick so its appreciated by ALL. Looks like the bay will provided the chocolate milk to go with them:eek:

Re: RFA-NJ 5th Annual Fluke A Thon
 

Since I know it may come up, Poor water quality as reported recently and knowing todays rain runoff will not help I spoke with Capt Mike this afternoon.
Plan will still be to hit spots in the back bay where he has been successful of late but if that doesn't meet expectations we WILL run wherever it takes including "outside" along the beach in search of better water and/ or da fish.
if necessary. Never any guarantees on Fish but effort wont be the issue.

FYI: Standard boat bait is spearing and "bellies". Bring whatever else you want. Smelly might be best! Mike did say some bucktailers have had their limits though in less than perfect water.

Killies are available nearby at our Sponser Bait shops. Pete @ Atlantic Bait or Zubacks (look them up on this site) . I know you can pre-arrange with Pete so give these guys a call. They need our business
